3 US-made coins to watch before Christmas 2025

The entire category of US-made coins has traded almost flat over the past week, even as cryptocurrency volatility has increased more broadly. This lack of movement is particularly striking as Christmas approaches, when lower liquidity often reveals projects that are quietly building up pressure.

Several US-based tokens are currently at clear technical decision points, where even small movements could trigger a short-term trend reversal. This article lists three such US-based coins to watch before Christmas 2025, driven by improving price structures, increased crash risks, and setups that could move sharply in either direction.

Cardano (ADA)

Cardano is one of the US-made cryptocurrencies that traders may be watching ahead of Christmas 2025. It has fallen by about 3.5% in the last 24 hours, bringing its monthly losses to over 27%.

The latest midnight update failed to change sentiment, and downward pressure returned as the broader market weakened.

On the daily chart, Cardano broke out of a bearish continuation pattern – a pole and a bearish flag. The previous consolidation was resolved to the downside, confirming that sellers remain in control.

This keeps the broader decline expectation active, which still points to a potential drop of approximately 39% from the previous collapse zone.

The first level that matters now is $0.370. This area has acted as strong support in recent weeks, but the price is already trending towards it. A daily close below $0.370 would increase the downside risk and bring $0.259 into focus, which would be consistent with a fully bearish outlook.

For Cardano's price to stabilize, selling pressure needs to ease near $0.370. To rule out a bearish setup and regain momentum, Cardano needs to reclaim $0.489, followed by $0.517. These levels represent key Fibonacci resistances and would signal a return of buyers.

Until then, Cardano remains vulnerable before Christmas, especially if the weakness across the Made in USA category continues.

Stellar (XLM)

Stellar is at a critical decision point among US-made currencies ahead of Christmas, as price action begins to test whether long-term adoption can support short-term value.

XLM has fallen by approximately 2.5% in the last 24 hours, bringing its monthly decline to around 18%. This caution becomes even more apparent when examining the credentials.

While the number of RWA holders on Stellar increased sharply over the past month, the total value of assets on the network decreased.

The price chart reinforces this message. Between December 3 and December 9, Stellar formed a hidden bearish divergence. The price made a lower high while the RSI made a higher high. The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, tracks momentum. Since this divergence emerged, XLM has continued to drift lower, confirming that the broader downtrend remains in place.

The key level now is $0.231. This area has acted as short-term support during recent pullbacks. Holding above it would suggest that sellers are slowing down, especially ahead of the busy Christmas trading period. A daily close below $0.231 would open the way for the next target of $0.216, potentially leading to further declines if the market weakness persists.

For the downward structure to break, Stellar needs to reclaim $0.262. This level has capped every attempt at an upward move since mid-November.

A move above that level would require an increase of approximately 10% and would indicate that buyers are finally prepared to defend higher prices once again. There remains some hope of a recapture of this level, as analysts on X have highlighted a buy signal for XLM.

Until then, Stellar remains a US-made coin where the trend is still toward caution, making this test of support particularly important ahead of Christmas.

Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin is one of the few US-made cryptocurrencies that has shown relative stability ahead of Christmas.

LTC rose about 1.5% over the week, making it an exception among US-based cryptocurrencies. However, it remains down roughly 19% over the past month. This mixed performance aligns with recent fundamentals. Reports indicate that institutions and funds have quietly accumulated around 3.7 million LTC, even as retail interest remains subdued.

This accumulation didn't translate into an immediate surge, but it helps explain why Litecoin avoided deeper crashes compared to its peers. For Made in USA projects, this kind of sustained demand means more than just short-term hype, especially towards the end of the year.

On the price chart, Litecoin is forming an inverted head and shoulders pattern, which is typically bullish. This structure reflects the gradual easing of selling pressure over time, followed by buyers slowly regaining control. The pattern attempted to break out on December 9th but failed to hold, causing the price to consolidate again instead of triggering a reversal.

The pattern remains valid as long as Litecoin holds above $79.63. A drop below this level would weaken the setup and delay any upward movement. A deeper move below $74.72 would completely invalidate the pattern and shift the outlook to a bearish continuation.

To confirm, Litecoin needs a clean daily close above the neckline near $87.08. This breakout would signal that the pattern is active again and open a path toward $97.95 first, with $101.69 as a fully measured target.

Until that happens, Litecoin remains a US-based project (token) at a decision point, where steady institutional interest contrasts with cautious price action ahead of Christmas 2025.
